13.5m and counting

Indeed Fort and well over 10m traded here with plenty more to come

In the meantime moving nicely into the close

And drops back ….. how bizarre

Someone will pay over 19 for 100k

Into auction she goes …. Thanks slug

Something brewing

Well that was bizarre

Huge volume then simply collapsed back to normal levels

Closing auction could be interesting later

DG ….. I shouldn’t bother …. It’s no secret that you and a few others have chatted with Solg ….. thanks for sharing

I thinks any news on obtaining permits ( water etc ) is probably pivotal and things need to be accelerated whilst lasso still around …. I like the idea that any news will be hard facts about things that are happening/have happened rather than false promises about what they hope to deliver.

Bozi …. Yes I remain confident but, as a few have said this board has become fairly redundant of late

“So, here we are in 2023 and someone has discovered, “Oops, we don’t have enough copper to do all the things we think we’ll have to do to support population growth and an energy transition to renewables.” Maybe everything will work out. But that’s what my reader back in 2009 thought. The truth is that things are NOT working out and we don’t have plan”

Fort …. Certainly looks like he’s trying to get some licenses across the line before he departs …. Great to have Scott in country and hands on .

Sean …. Ignore the morons and stick around

Looks like he’s trying to leave his legacy

“Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso issued an executive decree to regulate the environmental consultation process on resource extraction and works that can impact the environment, which is expected to unlock several mining projects.

“This is excellent news not only for mining but for a host of activities,” mining chamber lawyer Andrés Ycaza told BNamericas. “The best legacy of the government will be to unlock the obstacles of recent years.”

Ecuador expects to conclude negotiations on a production contract with Australian miner SolGold, the operator of the US$3bn Cascabel copper-gold project, in the next few months, according to deputy minister of mines, Juan José Espinosa.

"We hope to deliver the good news before the end of the year," Espinosa said in a radio interview.

Cascabel is located in the northern province of Imbabura and SolGold expects it to become one of the 20 largest copper and gold operations in South America.

According to the prefeasibility study, the Alpala deposit – the most important in the mine concession – hosts 9.9Mt of copper, 21.7Moz gold and 92.2Moz of silver in measured and indicated resources.

Last February, energy and mines minister Fernando Santos told BNamericas that he expected pre-construction work to begin by the end of 2023 and construction of the mine to start in 2024.

Meanwhile, Espinosa said that authorities are working to improve legal security for all mining companies operating in Ecuador or which are interested in investing in the country.

As part of that objective, he said that President Guillermo Lasso's government is about to issue the regulations required to regulate environmental consultation, which is an essential step to unlock authorizations for various projects and not just in the mining sector.
